WIFI won't turn off when going into standby (kills the battery)

Hey folks.

I posted this at xda-dev.com and didn't get any help so hopefully I'll have more luck here.

Long story short, everything was working great until I began using wmwifirouter a few days ago. Before, when I would use my wifi for streaming radio or web browsing at home, and I hit the power button for standby it would discontinue the wifi connection, and when I turned it back on it would reestablish the connection. I got good battery life leaving the phone on and keeping it in standby waiting for calls to come in.

Well after using wmwifirouter for the first time, it has changed a setting which now keeps the wifi active in standby, which is good for internet sharing, but drains the battery very quickly when just waiting for calls to come in on standby when not using the wmwifiouter program.

Anyone else have this problem? It might be a good excuse to upgrade my rom and start over but I was happy with everything until this started happening. I am using colonel's 12-28-07 rom which came with the .81 version of wmwifirouter.

I would really love some help here, and sorry for the long post.

Just use the wireless toggle switch on the side of the mogul to toggle the wireless on or off when needed.

seriously just turn the switch off when you put your phone in standby and turn the switch back on when you turn your phone back on

Well, yeah flipping the switch back and forth all the time works, but gets really annoying if you have to do it all the time. Thanks for the suggestion though. I finally got a reply on xda-dev from a developer of a program which controls wifi settings that aren't otherwise available, and it solved my problem!!

Check it out for yourself, it's great.
